Answer C
Paragraph 3
Eoin’s story was chosen from hundreds of submissions. President Higgins said: “James Joyce captured the essence of his Dublin in approximately 265,000 words, Eoin has done so in just 224 – an impressive accomplishment of which many famous writers would be jealous. There is much to admire in Eoin’s narrative and the short and skilled way in which he captured the capital’s character.”

It gives me cause to wonder, as I stroll aimlessly along the cobbled paths, about those who have traversed them before me, by carriage or before there were even cobbles to walk upon.

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Answer C
Paragraph 6 Eoin Moore’s short story
Now, where Norsemen once stood, I look back, along the quays, streets and alleys, to where the inhabitants live their lives: eating, speaking, and breathing their city into existence. It gives me cause to wonder, as I stroll aimlessly along the cobbled paths, about those who have traversed them before me, by carriage or before there were even cobbles to walk upon. I feel their lives and mine are somehow connected, that we all were at one point a part of this city, living pieces of its grand, striking framework. Every High King and scholar, every playwright and poet, every politician and every rebel, every merchant, student, and busker who ever set foot in the city holds or held onto a chunk of this city’s soul; every one of them stepped to the city’s heartbeat. All of us who travel those arteries step on the words, actions, and lives of those who travelled them before us. The city embodies the people, and the people embody the city.

  B He feels threatened by Dublin, which seems to engulf him.
  C He is an outsider, observing Dublin which is full of life.

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Answer A
Paragraph 6 . 
I listen to the streets at night and I can feel the city’s lifeblood pumping through me; I can feel myself flowing through it. All of us who travel those arteries step on the words, actions, and lives of those who travelled them before us. The city embodies the people, and the people embody the city.
